On July 24, 2019, the Department of Homeland Security published the final rule for The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program Modernization. The final rule for The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program Modernization went into effect on November 21, 2019.
However, this new rule still leaves some uncertainty and risks, particularly with Targeted Employment Area (TEA) designations. TEA designations are important because a project that is designated as being in a TEA can accept EB-5 investors at the lower investment amount of $900,000.
